PARK RIVER, Oct 24.-During a seven
years residence III Dakota l have not changed
the opinion formed on my first visit as to
the great advantages the Dakota farmer en-
joys over mis- brother farmer where 1 form
erly lived in the county of Huron, Ont
There are, ia all newly settled sections, al
ways appointments that cannot be had in
the older places; but Dakota, we think, par
ticularly fortunate, when we take into con-
sideratiOn the cheap lands productive soil,
healthful climate, with its adaptation to the
growth and maturity of cereals, together
with the comparative ease and pleasure with
which farm work Is accomplished.
We know, from conversation with friends
in our former home, that a prejudice exists
in their minds against this territory, caused
principally by misrepresentation of agents
for other places. Their objections are, how
ever, In most cases In consequence Of evils
that never existed and never will exist.
While detailed comparison of the adyant-
lengthy for letter of this kind will state
and every one having knowledge OF both
places will testify to the truth of my state
ment-that the average farmer can do as
much for himself in one year in Walsh
county, Dakota, as he can in ten in the
county of Huron, Ont. Some agents give
certain fixed sum of money as being
necessary to success, which | think mis-
take. There are over fifty farmers or my
acquaintance here, who started i'll this local
ltl Win CdpltulS lIOul p1 W TOVVO-
and, with scarcely any exception, have done
as well as have stated-that is, made ten to
one. Those who had ST. are now on equal
footing with those who had a better start.
A brief comparison-A and B commenced
life for themselves thirty years ago OH the
cheap lands of the county of Huron. On
tario, they labored necessarily and suffered
privations which are indelibly fixed upon
their minds, often with difficulty keeping the
wolf from the door, for more than thirty
years. They have at last got their farms
cleared, and can live fairly comfortable by
practicing rigid economy. They are, how
ever, worn out physically.
G. and ID are sons OF A and B respectively.
They are equal in every respect, and are now
i'll their minority. Their fathers grind out
for them. as their portion, each $500. c
comes to Dakota, buys q farm, and in five
years is worth $4,000 to $4,000 tan average
case). met him recently, he was seated in
his carriage, and presented the appearance of
a very respectable and prosperous man. ID
remained at home and also bought farm.
He paid his $500 OH it and labored hard.
Despite his exertions he became overwhelmed
with debt was forced to sell his farm at
loss, and is now like the negro partner, with
the experience but without the money.

teal knowledge of both places and without

PIERRE, Nov. 4.-The advocates of
prohibition are straining every nerve to
carry the county. Mass meetings have
been held here and all over the county
every evening this week, and will be
continued until election day. Such
speakers as Van Eppa, Plummer, Eibel
and others have awakened an interest
in prohibition never experienced in
Hughes county before. From present
prospects it looks as if they would carry
the county, OF not be very far behind.
of here from morning until night,
Division is never thought of. In fact,
very few remember that tue matter is
TO BE VOTED ON AT ALL.
Even the Sioux reservation is having
a temporary rest. Advocates of high
license have great point i'll their favor
here, which causes every citizen of
Pierre to pause and consider before
casting his ballot for prohibition. If
congress sees fit to throw open the
Sioux reservation this winter-Which
every citizen of Pierre fondly hopes
for, and with good reason-Stanley

strictions to the liquor traffic, and the
question is asked: Twill not a town

high license and thus derives large
revenue, which reduces the rate of taxa
ton, and therefore offers better i'll
ducement to investors and more con-
genial atmosphere for floating pOpula-
ton. which would otherwise be attracted
to Pierre? This is hard pill for Pierre
ties to swallow and stumbling block
to the ProhibitiOnistS, which will cost
them many votes in Pierre. The ladies
are preparing to establish booths in the
immediate vicinity of the polls on cleo
ton day for the purpose of furnishing
coffee and other refreshments to voters.

that he had written letters, wherein che

No Hope For Francis.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-Under the
law, when an official is removed and his
successor appointed and the action of
the president is nOn-concurred in by the
senate by the rejection of the nominee,
then, at the close of the session of the
senate, the former official resumes his
duties. The successor of Judge Francis
might not be confirmed by the senate,
but he would serve until congress adj
journs anyway. If this be done and
congress remains in session, as it prob
ably will, until next July, then the term
of the commission of Judge Francis will
have expired and new appointment
be made necessary to fill the vacancy.
In brief. when his successor shall be ap-
pointed and Francis removed that will
end his career on the bench, whether his
successor be confirmed or not. Judge
Francis may as well resign and get out
gracefully. He can never hold the office

WAHPETON, Nov. 4.-Wahpet0n, the
county seat of Richland county, can
boast of having the largest live Demo-
cratic club in the territory. 1t muSterS
within its ranks merchants, bankers.
attorneys, farmers-and in fact every
walk of life is well represented. Its
monthly meetings are lively and gener-
ally well attended, and of late new in
tereSt exists owing to that immutable
law of politics that the spoils belong
to the yIctorS, and that, sooner or later,
the terms of all poStmasters expire,
Wahpeton'S case being no exception to
this rule. The incumbent, B. e. Wilson,
makes an official against whom no word
Of dissatisfaction is spoken, and he will
step down and out of the place with the
qualification that he has been permitted
to serve three years under Democratic
administration.
A BOON NOT GRANTED TO ALL.
But, in the light of the fact that the
term expires with the present year, can
didateS are numerous. Some of the best
informed Democratic leaders place
Louis F. Darbellay at the head of the
list of candidates, Notwithstanding the
fact that he expected his appointment
several months ago. and has now, APP
parently, dropped the project, having
engaged in mercantile business. James
Richmond is an aggressive candidate,
having among his many qualifications
the distinction of being relative of
Andrew Jackson. He is at present
member of the Wahpeton Feed COM
pany, and short time ago completed
two years term as chief of the local fire
department. He and his estimable wife
are popular all round, and many would be
glad to see him carry off the plum.
Among the humorous signatures OH his
petition may be mentioned that of
BISHOP IRELAND AND SENATORS EY-
ARTS AND SALISBURY.
Like other communities Wahpeton
has Democrats that have testified their
love of country by heroic deeds of valOr
in the rebellion. Of these Capt. Roberts,
member of Sumner post G.. A. r., and a
leading exponent of Democracy, is be-
ing pushed by numerous friends. and il
good qualifications and an honorable
war record count for much, his name
will be found high up on the list under
consideration of President Cleveland.
Another worthy candidate is Charles
Damerel, leading hardware man. Mr..
Damerel is an Englishman by birth, his
father having once been lord mayor of
London. Mr.. Damerel's allegiance to
Uncle Samuel dates back fifteen years.
He is an active worker for the party,
and is, withal, highly respected man.
As regards age, the latter is the patri-
arch of the candidates. Tip Proper is
also candidate for the office, and has
quite substantial list of names back
ing him.

SIOUX FALLS, Nov. 4.-The bread
and meat of the people of this county
for the past week has been the prohibit
ton issue. Nearly all of South Dakota
is looking to Minnehaha county to see
what action she is going TO take on this
question. Prohibitionists appreciate
this. and they are raising the heavens
and the earth TO carry the county. Pro-
hibition orators have described the beau
ties of their favOrite measure from every
school house in the country. Circulars,
with the glowing adjectiVes found
usually in medical circulars and on
show bills, have been given to the winds
and scattered broadcast. The campaign
will close tomorrow night with grand
rally and intellectual barbecue, to be
held at the Opera house here. This will
be the climax of the campaign OH the
part of the Prohibitionists.
The high license men are not making
much of a fight-not single high
license speech having been made in the
county. They trust for their victory on
the vote of the city, which last fall cast
1906 votes, to ., $50
CAST BY THE REST OF THE COUNTY.
1t is expected that there will be from
COO to 200 majority ''for the SALE" and
that that will be large enough to coun-
terbalance the country vote. which it is
conceded will be favorable to prohibit
ton.
Net long since the Argus-Leader
raised an important legal question
which has stirred up things little. The
act which provides for the vote makes
ali exception in favor of cities unC Ell a
special charter. as is well known. The
law not applying to this place-which is
under special charter-if the measure
carries Sioux Falls will be under the old
liquor law of 1870. with the license
clause wiped out. In other words,
should the law carry it will be lawful to
sell liquor in fiye-gallOn lots or larger.
High license men claim that under this
law man could buy fiye-gallOn jug of
liquor. have it set aside for him in the
saloon, and take it away in quart-bottle
inStalImentS. 1t is argued that the
whisky can also be paid for in Install
mentS. This, of course. would make
the law as worthless as rope of sand.
The PrOhibitioniSts deny that the law is
as it is represented; but no lawyer has
yet come out opposing the idea, while
many do favor it.

THE ALLIANCE MEANS BUSINESS.
The Farmers alliance has been at it
again, and this time appears their
official call for the annual meeting to be
held at Huron, Dec. Is, 1887. There is
nothing particularly startling about this
formal announcement. but there goes
coupled with it bit of information that
is not so tame. The official circular
urges all local alliances to hold their
meetings for the election of delegates as
early as Dec. 8, and not only to select
their best men for representatives but to
formulate their grievances against ''the
werS that be'and duly present them at
huron. The plan further outlines that
q competent committee at Huron will
take these matters in hand and draft
bills that will be presented to the next
legislature. These bills, or such part
of them as seem best to the majority will
be passed and adoped by the alli-
ance. All this will be done this
fall, before any conventions for the nom
ination of candidates for the legislature
have been called. Their bills and plat
form will be made public and duly sub
mitted to candidates for Office, and, I'M
less these candidates will pledge them
selves to support them, the alliance

this is business. Legislators after this
will not have the chance to make empty
promises. Instead they will have to
pledge their word of honor to do the
farmers bidding-fOr there is no use in
lodging the fact that the farmer is the
power in the land, and that the Farm
ers' alliance in Dakota is becoming an
important organization.

OF forty saloons, several wholesale
LIQUOR houses and two very large brew
cries. These represent nearly a quar-
ter of a million capital, and, while local
option will not require the breweries to
close, it will cut off the retail of their
product, and consequently cripple, II
hot destroy, the business. There is APP
prehension that the county may be
called upon to pay damages for the de-
Struction of this industry, as the trend
of the higher judiciary seems to be i'll
that direction. The business commu-
nifty and property owners have taken the
alarm, and it is concluded that there is
not enough principle" involved be
tween high license probably $1,000 and
ineffective prohibition to warrant the
great financial sacrifice; but the move
ment is probably 100 late to stay the
